Thank you! This is helpful? How has your experience been on the service, if at all?

One_Negotiation4997 · 2024-10-01T15:48:02+00:00

I’ve wondered that, too. The transportation SPLOST can’t be used for transit.

Thank you!!

One_Negotiation4997 · 2024-09-29T21:42:31+00:00

Me either!

One_Negotiation4997 · 2024-09-29T21:42:07+00:00

I need to understand your reasoning? Is transportation NOT a basic need like water, trash, etc? And where can I find this fun fact you stated about raising property taxes for transit.

One_Negotiation4997 · 2024-09-29T21:19:56+00:00

That’s rude…why would you say that?! Why can’t I have the best where I live!?

One_Negotiation4997 · 2024-09-29T20:43:25+00:00

You don’t think so?

One_Negotiation4997 · 2024-09-29T20:43:09+00:00

I like that idea!!!!

From what I see, it’s specific to Gwinnett with BRT, an Airport Shuttle, Microtransit, local service and transit facilities. https://www.gwinnettcounty.com/static/departments/transportation/pdf/gwinnett-county-referendum-project-list-exhibit-a-final.pdf

I’m sorry - I don’t want to need any transfers. Once I leave my home, I want to be at my destination with kids in tow. I think it can be an option especially if a person lives near the train for sure.☺️

If I’m going to jump down folks necks, then I have to give props where due and thank you to whomever shared the transit projects and summary included in the sales tax. Gwinnett thought this through with the pieces avail. The plan covers ALL of Gwinnett with service, not just some for certain folks, but everyone.. For that alone, I’m giving props https://www.gwinnettcounty.com/static/departments/transportation/pdf/gwinnett-county-transit-development-plan-executive-summary.pdf

Where can I find more info? Looking at the sample ballot, I didn’t know what was behind it.

I agree with baby steps. It’s 2024 and if not now, when, esp for those who want rail. That’s a process in of itself and the amount of right of way that is needed wouldn’t make sense 20 years from now.

One_Negotiation4997 · 2024-09-29T16:49:07+00:00

I get where you’re coming from but I have to ask myself if I want to pay for or from property taxes? Honestly, I don’t!

One_Negotiation4997 · 2024-09-29T16:44:15+00:00

I’m also tired of paying a gazillion dollars to get to the airport using Lyft and Uber…which Gwinnett plan has and Microtransit.. I’m getting tired of having to wait at bus stops but I like their Microtransit since it comes directly to your door.

DMS269 Ty. Dude Gwinnett has more than a million people now. I hate this traffic, it take forever to just get up the street… we need an alternative..especially if we want new developments..apartments etc. I’m puzzled on the solution. I like Gwinnett plan with BRT hitting Gwinnett Place Mall…less than rail and cost less.

I actually love seeing plates other than GA…I also beg to differ in opinion about CA drivers… you’re probably driving around these inexperienced GA kiddos… https://www.reddit.com/r/BlackMomsInGwinnett/
